XR10...discuss.
 
I think it is F'n awesome, for a comp crawler and for the sport as a whole!! Axial stepped up the game FOR SURE:twisted:

I will own one!"thumbsup" who else will??:mrgreen:

TrailDawg362 05-10-2010 06:01 PM

Weren't you the guy that always said "shafties rule" ?

Wheres the loyalty, man :flipoff:.

I'm sure it will take the crawler game to a new level, but I was secretly hoping they'd come out with something scale related. I'd like to see Axial do an updated Bruiser/High Lift type of kit. They could dominate the scaler market, better and cheaper than Tamiya. Three speed, leaf sprung, hard body scalers....hell yeah! They would F'in rock that "thumbsup".

Seems like they're just jumping on the MOA bandwagon... but that's just my 2 cents ;-).

I guess a new style crawler just doesn't give me a chubbie :lmao:

Yea I said that, then I saw how MOA's dominated @ the comp level of it.
And when I heard Axial was coming out with a MOA several months ago, I stopped saying it and removed "shafties for life" from my custom user title...

Shafties will always have there place, they are what started this sport/hobby/category "thumbsup". MOA's have no place in scale so I'll always be loyal that way...:mrgreen: My SCX-10 is a SHAFTY:flipoff:

R/CMaxximus5.0 05-10-2010 07:03 PM

I'm sure Axial has more up their sleeve, one new release isn't a storm.:roll:

I hope for a multi-speed scaler too"thumbsup" and something to compete with the slash 4x4- except with a solid rear axle"thumbsup"

TrailDawg362 05-10-2010 07:42 PM

I was just rattlin' yer cage :lmao:.

Anything Axial puts out has my full attention "thumbsup"

kasper 05-10-2010 07:57 PM

I do bielieve he did say shaftys rule more then once or maybe twice.

I sure hope the hype does not bite the xr10 in the ass like whaat happened to losi.

Sure look forward to the new axial craze sure there will be some hik ups but time will tell.

Oh and the bergs wont be leaving anytime soon.

TrailDawg362 05-10-2010 08:31 PM

From what I've seen, the Bergs/Bullies are the Cadillacs of crawlers. This new Axial rig might be a less expensive way to get into the MOA mix.

Time will tell...

Ya know... I was thinking the same thing earlier today. all of a suden Axial makes a moa and it all makes sense now??

I think it look's pretty good I just really wanna see how it does??

MrNate 05-10-2010 10:22 PM

I'm all for it. Already considering selling the AX-10 comp build, so I can fund one of these. RPP has them listed at $299.

The only reason I never got a Berg / Bully, is because you inevitably need to mod / cover the axles, because metal sticks to rocks, instead of sliding over them.

The axles?? My Bully Axles are a year old & other than lock-tite everything when new I havent had a single problem w/axles.

kasper 05-10-2010 10:42 PM

I do bielieve hobbytown will be selling for the same price if that interests anybody support the local economy.

MrNate 05-11-2010 07:28 AM

Good to know, T-Buck. The guy at my LHS that runs a Berg is always complaining about the motor and gear part of the axles hanging up.

I have beat my bully as well and aside from stripping a steering knuckle screw (my fault) they work great and I don't see any hang up problems.

I really want one of these but it's just not in the budget right now. Maybe for x-mas.

TrailDawg362 05-11-2010 11:47 AM

I wonder if the For Sale section will be flooded with shafty rigs when this hits the market. Good news for those of us who want to build non-comp style trucks. I could always use another set of axles and a trans ;-).

MrNate 05-11-2010 02:01 PM

Yeah, I almost just put my ax-10 up for sale to preorder this, then realized if I just sold off the comp parts, I could probably build another nice trail truck. I'm sure there will be a surge in used parts as people make the jump to MOA.

TrailDawg362 05-11-2010 02:26 PM

The other option would be to just buy the XR10 axles and retrofit them to your current comp setup. Either way, I wish I had bought some stock in Axial :mrgreen:.

kasper 05-11-2010 02:56 PM

Well i plan on picking one maybe two up i plan on getting a spare set of axles when available

Maybee Axial can start another ad countdown to guess release date?? then shipping date?? etc...

fanke19 05-20-2010 06:39 AM

I'm still waiting to see what the "FAST" part of their release will be. I didn't even consider a three speed scaler to compete with Tamiya...I was thinking a Short Course truck.

Hmmm...

But definitely, I am digging the XR10, if I had more cashflow I would definitely pick one up and turn my AX10 into another scaler.
